An investigation into the relationship between personality type, as measured by the Keirsey Bates Temperament Sorter, choice of practice setting and job satisfaction of pharmacists who graduated from the University of the Western Cape over the period 1990-2005
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
For the study the Keirsey Bates Temperament Sorter was completed by 602 pharmacy students during their study period at the University of the Western Cape. The results showed that the pharmacy students had a tendency towards ...
Iterative helical real-space reconstruction of histone octamer tubular crystals and implications for the 30 nm chromatin fiber
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
This thesis investigated the helical structure of core histone octamers to discover interacting surfaces and their relevance to the compaction of nucleosome arrays into the chromating fiber.
High performance computing and algorithm development: application of dataset development to algorithm parameterization
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
A number of technologies exist that captures data from biological systems. In addition, several computational tools, which aim to organize the data resulting from these technologies, have been created. The ability of these ...
The role of grazers and basal sustrate cover in the control of intertidal algal distribution
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
This study investigated the role of grazing as a possible cause for the upper limit of distribution of algae on a typical South African south coast.
Can Acacia Karroo and Boscia Albitrunca be used in the biogeochemical prospecting for gold :a case study at the Blue Dot Mine, Amalia, Northwest province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
In areas of transported overburden there is frequently a weak relationship between soil and the underlying mineralized bedrock. Vegetation has the capability to absorb metals from the underlying substrate via its extensive ...
Gamma spectroscopy of the doubly– ODD 194Tl Nucleus
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The odd – odd Tl nuclei with A ≥ 190 have moderate oblate nuclear deformation and show rotational bands built on different quasiparticle excitations. Several phenomena, not yet fully understood, were observed in these ...
Growth of juvenile abalone under aquaculture conditions
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The aim of this research was, first to test the suitability of different seaweeds and formulated feeds as food for post-weaning juvenile South African abalone and secondly, to test the effects of basket design on the growth ...
Preparation and characterization of highly active nano pt/c electrocatalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cell
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Catalysts play an essential role in nearly every chemical production process. Platinum supported on high surface area carbon substrates (Pt/C) is one of the promising candidates as an electrocatalyst in low temperature ...
Detection of positive selection resulting from Nevirapine treatment in longitudinal HIV-1 reverse transcriptase sequences
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Nevirapine (NVP) is a cheap anti-retroviral drug used in poor countries worldwide, administered to pregnant women at the onset of labour to inhibit HIV enzyme reverse transcriptase. Viruses which may get transmitted to ...
Assessment controls on reservoir performance and the affects of granulation seam mechanics in the Bredasdorp Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The Bredasdorp Basin is one of the largest hydrocarbon producing blocks within Southern Africa. The E-M field is situated approximate 50 km west from the FA platform and was brought into commission due to the potential ...
